A Breeze, A Nest, And A Den
C P Aboobaker
 

A breeze

Pedals fall from the flower
A touch of airy waves
Burdens go away
Sea is soft
Wave is humming
Surf is drumming
And roaring.

Dreams are broken
Behind the rocks
Crabs run into the holes

Cancer and Capricorn unite
On the shore of eternity
Beaks touching each other

A nest
Birds sleep in harmony
Wind cannot take it away

A den
Lion and goat live in unison
In a William Blake’s Night

Leopard blushes
At sheep’s sight
As water was
When it saw its Lord

Distance is wiped
Time is rubbed off
From the slate of eternity

Infinite cannot be reduced
Neither be increased
Nothing taken from it
Nothing added to it

Quails fly on fences
Ivies spread on them
Fruits are forbidden

The mendicant runs away
Still the minstrel sings
Songs of stormy petrel

In passive curiosity
Buddy awakes from slumber
‘Oh! I am rheumatic,
Grout my knees
Groins ache
Loins in despair
No potion to cure’

Fairy pours lily juice
Into his sleepy eyes
Sprite sings
Love into his chest
Soul to soul
He soars up
Till he falls to Heaven
Into the lap of Beatrice
And the clasp of Leila
Earthen love is cruel enough.
